Completing Your Application Form - Important Advice

Your application form plays an important part in the selection process. The completed form is the only basis for considering your initial suitability for the post. The following advice may help you complete the form.

Some points to bear in mind before you start.

  • look carefully at the job description, person specification and application form. Tailor the form to the post applied for, do not copy the same application for different jobs
  • try to complete the form in a concise, well organised and positive way
  • use the application form provided, continuing if necessary on additional sheets of paper, headed with your surname, initial and post applied for
  • please do not send standard details of your own, for example a curriculum vitae
